Gorgeous big flowers with beautiful leaves, I'm loving making each of these blocks, especially using Keiko Goke's amazing fabrics.
Liza has some new Keiko fabrics just arrived over at Glorious Colour, check them out here.

More Flowers
Kim's flower blocks from her Flower Garden pattern are so much fun to applique.

Kim & Keiko
It's about time I made an appearance here, my applique has been sadly neglected for a while and I have been missing it hugely. A little while ago I fell in love with the bright and cheery (not unlike Kaffe's) fabrics from the talented quilt artist Keiko Goke.
These fabrics make me smile whenever I look at them, so I have decided to match them up with Kim's gorgeous pattern Flower Garden. The wall where I will hang this quilt when finished won't be large enough for the whole quilt, so I plan on making just five rows of the flower blocks (20 blocks in all) and no borders. To spice things up a bit and give the quilt a Keiko Goke feel (see some of her amazing quilts here), my background blocks will be pieced using some of the whiter Keiko fabrics, a few other various fabrics thrown in, and of course, some of Kaffe's shot cottons....this is my first background block ready for its applique!
A lot of my Keiko Goke fabrics I have purchased from Liza at Glorious Colour. Keiko lives in Sendai, Japan, the centre of the earthquake and tsunami earlier this year. Our dear Liza has made a very generous commitment to send ALL the profits she receives from Keiko's fabrics this year over to Keiko. I feel very happy that my purchases are going to help that devastated community in a small way. Thank you Lisa!
I haven't forgotten my Hearts & Flowers finished top, yet to be quilted...
nor my Roseville blocks...
But for now, I will be happy playing in the flower garden! Cathy (Cabbage Quilts). xo
